Richard Hamilton was an exceptionally difficult defender assignment because he never stopped running

Richard Hamilton was hard because all he's doing is running the whole time. So I'm not a shooting guard, but I often guard the best players whoever's doing work... rip Hamilton, all he doing is running the whole time. And that's extremely tiring... He separates so well once at the point of the screen, he's gone. And it's so hard to keep up with.

Subjective athlete experience.

Kyler Murray is a soft football player who gets leniency because he is a 'short king'

The story out of Glendale tonight, I think is that Kyler Murray is soft. This is soft football player. I haven't heard anybody drop the S bomb on him. I think he gets a lot of leniency because he's a short king. And I actually just think that he's a little bit soft.

This is a subjective characterization of a player's toughness.

The Braves will not win the World Series without Charlie Morton

Charlie Morton breaking his leg, unbelievable performance fact that he kept pitching... It's going to be very tough for the Braves to win this world series without their number one. And that sucks. I do not think the Braves are gonna be able to survive without Charlie Morton.

The Braves actually went on to win the 2021 World Series despite losing Charlie Morton to injury.

The Minnesota Vikings would be 5-1 right now if not for a couple of fluke plays

The Vikings... I hate doing the like, oh, they should've could've woulda, but they really did play... they really could have beaten the Cardinals and the Bengals... they were a fucked up fumble and a misfield goal against the Cardinals away from being five and one.

While the plays happened, the take that they 'would' be 5-1 is a counter-factual opinion. The Vikings finished the 2021 season 8-9, often losing close games, which supports the 'could have been better' spirit.

The Malice at the Palace was started by the fans, not the players

Ben Wallace had nothing to do with the malice in the palace. You know what I'm saying? Ben Wallace had that happens all the time where a player fights a player, the fans started the Malice in the Palace... I wasn't okay with taking the full blame, you know, I, I wasn't okay with that.

This is a subjective historical interpretation, though the Netflix documentary referenced in the episode supports the idea that fan behavior was a major catalyst.

Michael Jordan was the toughest player I ever defended

If I go on order of the toughest guys I've defended, and this is going to put, this is going to answer your question. The obvious would be first like Michael Jordan was the hardest guy. I haven't seen defended then as a tie between Kobe and LeBron, and then next would be Richard Hamilton.

Subjective ranking by a player who faced all of them.

Coming back from a meniscus tear in five days was the dumbest mistake of my career

I tear my meniscus takes about six weeks to come back... I come back in five days... dumbest, dumbest mistake of my life in terms of my career came back too early. I didn't hurt myself, but I was receiving a lot of fluid in my knee. So I had to keep draining the fluid.
